The platform is built on Amazon Web Services (AWS) as a collection of integrated microservices. These offer you and your devices three ways to interact: a web portal, a REST API, and an MQTT API. You can also combine these depending on your use case.

nRF Cloud is suitable for a range of users, including hardware or firmware engineers building a new product with Nordic Semiconductor silicon, device fleet managers, and web or mobile application developers using the nRF Cloud REST API to build a custom user interface for an IoT solution.
